Get ready for a delightful blend of adorable pups and football with the upcoming mobile game, Pup Champs, set to launch on both iOS and Android on May 19th. While the concept of dogs playing football might seem like a natural fit for a sports simulation, Pup Champs takes a surprising twist by transforming into a captivating puzzler instead.
In Pup Champs, your challenge is to guide your team of cute canines to score goals through strategic passes and crosses, all while dodging tackles from the opposing team. The game is designed to be accessible and enjoyable even for those who aren't well-versed in football rules, ensuring that everyone can have a fun time navigating their team to victory.
Adding to the charm, Pup Champs includes an endearing underdog story where you step into the shoes of a retired soccer coach, mentoring your young pups to become amateur football champions. It's a heartwarming narrative that adds depth to the gameplay experience.
Take a dive into Pup Champs, which will debut as a free-to-start game, offering 20 puzzles to kick things off for new players. Despite the initial expectation of a sports simulator given the popularity of events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, Pup Champs surprises with its puzzle-based gameplay. Yet, there's no need to worry about it being all fluff and no substance; the developer, Afterburn, brings a solid track record with titles like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, ensuring that Pup Champs combines both style and skill effectively.
